Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign!

I saw about 10 of these bumper stickers today while I was shopping at WalMart. I don't know if these are available anywhere else but here in Windsor, but there are lots of them.

First, buying Canadian is an interesting idea. I wonder if all these people at Walmart with the bumper stickers are checking the products they are buying to make sure they are only and entirely make in Canada, or better yet locally in Windsor....

Now lets get real. Yes Windsor is an automotive town, but the parts used to assemble minivans and engines are from across the globe. So, are you really buying Canadian?

Welcome to the global economy, right or wrong, it is a fact and is here to stay. It's time for people to stop crying about it and get on board! Nothing lasts forever and all of us in the car industry who enjoyed the good times knew full well that they could not last forever, but how many people prepared themselves for it?

If I had remained at Chrysler I would have 25 years and if the company closes the doors, would have been without a pension. I saw the writing on the wall in 90's and got out in 2003 to run my own business and life.

So how do we fix the problem? It is not by giving failing business' tax dollars and hoping for the best. Use the money to re-educate works for other fields, encourage people to open new businesses and get the government out of the way! How do you remove the government barrier?

CUT TAXES, CUT TAXES, CUT TAXES, CUT TAXES

This will make Canada and Windsor more appealing to investor and encourage new business growth. And people, tell your MPs and MPPs what you think! If you don't stay on them, they will think they can run the country anyway they like!

More to come.
